For me Wing Commander2, Deus Ex and Zoo Tycoon are the main ones that stick out for me memory wise.

There was also a CD with 100 or so games on it, a few text adventure with basic graphic stuff, I'm trying to remember but its escaping me the games I actually played off of it, long time ago...... The other early game for me was one where you were Thor (I think) and you threw a hammer at stuff. The good old days....

Hmm, lots of you are bringing up some great games, and bringing back memories. I completely forgot that I played a lot of Silent Service 2, the original Railroad Tycoon, and most importantly, the Civ I (Civ kicked off a love of the series that continues to this day...I've played every iteration except for Civ II).

Oh, and I played tons of Star Wars Rebel Assault, too. had a joystick and everything.

When I was a young teen, my Dad bought my brother and I a flight yoke and pedals, that doubled as a steering wheel. Many hours of NFS3HP and Flight Simulator were enjoyed.

Leisure suit larry, LOVED space quest, Rex Nebular and the Cosmic Gender Bender and so very many more.

How the hell did I forget to put that in my list. Those games were great, hell I just bought them all again a couple of weeks back when they became available on GOG.

Another couple that I forgot to mention, Railroad Tycoon was such a good game and really what can I say about the Civilization series, put it this way I actually have a boxed copy of Civ II with all manuals and inserts sitting here in my office at work. I have put literally thousands of hours into that series.

First ever game that I ever played was NHL 98. We couldn't figure out how to install DX on the computer so we had to take in the tower to a shop . Another game was the Logical Journey of the Zoombinis. Good times. FIrst RTS was starcraft/broodwar - great game.

Games as a kid for me were mostly played out side and without any computers but in the mid to late 1970s I started to work part time in a pinball arcade and also the Pool hall my fav game actually was foosball and was pretty good also I loved snooker , pinball was a gas but the first game I played on any type of computer was asteroids and that was actually in the arcade that I worked in . later on once of my friends got a Atari can't remember which one it was but he ended up giving me that because he upgraded to a commodore 64 then later to an Amiga which he gave me the old commodore 64 with well over 100+ games that were all hacked by him and his acquaintances, the thing is that there were so many games back then that I cannot remember 1/100th of the names lol I do seem to remember a text based game that I really liked in which you had to type wordsd in like look ,turn left or what ever it was actually a great game . my first PC game that I really loved was played on a Tandy called silent service .

Ah, I completely forgot. Bugdom. It was on a imac or something at my elementary library and I remember impressing everyone with how good I was at it. Enjoyed that game quite a bit actually, think I have it on a disk somewhere.
